Glyfi hits a mean cross into the box, now we need someone for him to hit. New centre forward please.

Okay, let's calm this down Marnie please !!
off a Swansea forum.
I've had more than a few conversations with people who know a few things about high end transfers, especially in the premier league.
In relation to Gylfi here's a summary -
A
1. The fee has always been agreed. It's 45M. The 50M is answered below.
2. Gylfi always wanted to leave and increase his salary massively.
3. The medical, regardless of what happens in a minor medical today has been completed maybe two weeks ago.
The real issue.
B
1. Was never the transfer fee, it was always how it would be paid.
2. Everton wanted to pay 25m with add ons based on appearances, goals and success of the team.
3. Swansea wanted 33m with a contractual buy out ( Gylfi is paid nothing by the swans ) then a further 12 million in 3 payments ending in May 2018. Today's loan news with Barclays is a clue.
4. Any bonus, signing on fee and agents fee is paid on top of the agreed transfer fee, believed to be 5M give or take.
So B has always been the problem.
The negotiations were never about the amount, it was always about how it is split.
Point 1 has been resolved.
Point 2 is removed.
Point 3 is agreed.
Point 4 is paid on agreement post transfer by Everton.
Swansea get 45 million in total with no other outlay. Swans pay Gylfi and his agent nothing as do Everton. The exception being Everton resolve agents fees and signing on fees with the player and his agent.
Swansea bank 33M up front and the excess being 12M is spent on a player in the next ten days. 12M may well be the loan secured from Barclays.
That I am told is the deal Huw wanted, and may well be the deal he got.

Now that makes sense in regards to the complex negotiations that take place over transfers.
Not just a case of going back the next day and saying "here is an extra million"

The bed wetters have already ruined many a mattress over this. This is old news.

Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
Thought we were Scrooge McDuck rich though?
...after the negotiation saga, I'm expecting a signing video to rival Gone With The Wind.
How does any of what the guy said say we aren't rich? Clearly just says the problem was how we wanted to stage payments not how much we were paying.
Ronnie might have different ideas
Here's a novel idea , he may rotate players and give them all equal game time to keep them fresh and depending on the opposition and wether we are home or away
I doubt there is a " best 11 "

And you know this how ??Everton know they'll be moving on Barkley, Robles, Niasse, McCarthy before the end of the window. That's comfortably more than 45 million they know they'll be getting in.
Same as with Lukaku, bought first, recouped the funds second!
